NC memorabilia dealer selling J.D. Salinger's toilet

AP Photo/The VaultThis undated photo provided by Kernersville, N.C.- based company The Vault shows a toilet reportedly ripped from reclusive author J.D. Salinger's former home. Collectibles dealer Rick Kohl of The Vault said Friday Aug. 20, 2010 he bought the standard white porcelain fixture from a New Hampshire couple who owned a home where the author of "Catcher in the Rye" once lived. The receptacle has an eBay asking price of $1 million, though Kohl says he's willing to see what the literary giant's home throne will fetch.

Rick Kohl of The Vault said Friday he bought the standard white porcelain fixture from a New Hampshire couple who owned a home where the author of "Catcher in the Rye" once lived.

To vouch that this is no phony, Kohl has a letter from the homeowner attesting that she and her husband replaced the toilet while remodeling, and that they knew the workmen who installed it decades ago.
